This site used to be updated on a regular basis. Now, only sunnyd posts everything he harvests on some rss reader. Surely, there is regular news on file sharing that Slyck can report on. Mennecke may be busy with an actual career, but this site sorely needs him to become active once again. I know about dying sites as I am an admin on one.

I find your comments very interesting, bigboxes, perhaps you know something we don't? Are you aware of any new file sharing clients to write about and get excited about? Are you aware of any new file sharing sites that you can share with us? There really hasn't been any new ones for several years that we're aware of, other than random trackers appearing here and there. Sorry to disappoint you, but things just aren't like they used to be with new file sharing news all the time. File-sharing lawsuits using scare tactics seem to be in abundance these days, we often post about those and our regular readers and posters do a great job of helping each other here, as you can see in these two threads...

Slyck diversified long ago because of the void in new file sharing items to report on. That's why we have many other news categories that we use to post all types of technology news, science news, and we do post anything to do with file sharing that's available.

Perhaps you haven't looked very often at the actual forums to see the amount of articles that are posted ...

Oh, and by the way, I don't use RSS feeds, I really don't care for them at all. I much prefer to manually look for every single article that I post in all of the available news categories that we have here on Slyck.

Yes that is exactly what I am referring to. It used to be updated regularly, but not now.

When The World First Met The LP, Cassettes, CD And Other Physical Formats...this was put up TEN DAY's ago!

So I do not think I am imagining this in my mind, when that shows that it was not updated.

It simply has not been updated in ten days. Whereas the front page used to be updated daily sometimes.

the server was moved to a new host. the software which updates the front page automatically upon the submission of each news story is not working on the new server, and so far the issue has eluded attempts to debug it.

You are making assumptions that are totally incorrect, not once did anyone say that Slyck was bought from Tom, nor did they say they had no plans to update it (the front page), they are working to resolve it, as stated before.

We hope so also, but the active topics link is the best alternative we have right now, and that link is also on the front page. Click on (More News Here) just above where the web news begins on the front page, and it takes you to all the active/new topics.

This website should be kept online for posterity - as part of the Interwebs history.... There is nothing worthwhile here anymore. Is it really worth the money to keep Slyck.com alive? Aaaahhhh what could have been....

Been eight years... too long... The ideals of P2P'sters have faded. Free stuff is still around, but not the community... and that is reflected here. I miss the old the days of debate.... those were wonderful

You are quite right that this forum is not as active as before. File sharing in its many guises was very popular for many years, and had many enthusiasts. Slyck was forefront as a community for those who had interest or problems with file sharing for many years. Any question or problem was posted and answered by the forum members or admins.

Slyck.com was a file sharing haven.

What sets apart slyck is that not only did this forum provide a platform for discussion of file sharing, it also provided a United States of America hosted forum threads which was dedicated to those who discussed their innocence of being accused of downloading copyright content via BitTorrent software.

Even though file sharing has died in favour of streaming, slyck.com is, and has always been absolute for over ten years a US hosted haven for innocent UK residents who are victims of a BitTorrent monitoring scam which has seen certain perpetrators punished by their peers.

See the threads below to show why slyck.com is so essential now to me:

Slyck.com has hosted the threads above to help innocent people to not be bullied in paying their own money to a legalised scam. Slyck.com has hosted these threads to let those who have been victims of such heinous and despicable practices have their say.

Slyck.com has also hosted the threads above where members have been so stressed, desperate and even suicidal. Because of slyck.com such members had the help they so desperately needed.

The help that slyck.com still provides now to innocent people to me makes this website unique. Slyck.com is the only website on this planet earth that helps those accused of BitTorrent monitoring when they didn’t do it.

Read the above thread links to show that slyck.com has not died.

BTW, Slyck is also about news. Any registered member can post news by the following link:

A quick note to the slyck admins. Why not have a more prominent link to the submit news link above?

"Hatton & Berkeley, which provides financial services to small businesses, sent the letters on behalf of its client TCYK LLC to Mrs Drew. Robert Croucher, managing director of Hatton & Berkeley, said: "They [the letters] are part of what's referred to as a pre-action protocol. We send them before action...They don't actually make a demand for money."Source Link: BBC News
